Mentor Texts for Informational Text Structures

problem solution articles for 5th grade

Teaching informational text structures, just like any concept, can be done in a number of ways. One of my favorite teaching strategies though is to use mentor texts.

I love using picture books with upper elementary students because they’re motivating! Another plus is that a mentor text can be completed rather quickly, which is a bonus when the school day is packed with more to teach than time allows.

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links. If you purchase through one of these links, The Teacher Next Door, LLC receives a few cents on the dollar.  This commission directly supports us as a small business and ensures that we can continue to create high-quality content for upper elementary teachers, like yourself!  As always, the products shared are tried, true, and tested. Enjoy! 

Here are the text structures i teach, with some of my favorite mentor texts pictured:.

problem solution articles for 5th grade

Description

Nonfiction books that describe something, in no particular time order, fall under the description category. These books give lots of facts about a particular subject, like llamas, or bicycles, or Yellowstone Park!

Here’s a list of mentor texts with a descriptive text structure: 

problem solution articles for 5th grade

Order and Sequence

Order and Sequence books present informational text topics in chronological order. Many biographies and history books fall into this category.

So, the life cycle of butterflies, Walt Disney’s life story, and the making of the Great Wall could be written with an Order and Sequence text structure.

Here’s a list of mentor texts with an order and sequence text structure: 

problem solution articles for 5th grade

Compare and Contrast

This informational text structure is all about looking at two different people, animals, or things and finding the ways they are alike and how they’re different. Some Compare and Contrast books are written so that the items are compared and contrasted concurrently.

For example, an author might write that dolphins are mammals and have lungs, while sharks are fish and have gills. Other Compare and Contrast books describe the first subject in its entirety and then describe the second subject.

Examples for this category would be books comparing Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Franklin, hawks to owls, or the Eiffel Tower to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Here’s a list of mentor texts with a compare and contrast text structure: 

problem solution articles for 5th grade

Cause and Effect

Picture books, magazine articles, or any type of passage that is written in the Cause and Effect text structure will show how one event caused another. Topics that have this type of text structure might include animal adaptations, historical events such as war, and naturally occurring phenomena like volcanoes or earthquakes.

This text structure is often confused with Problem and Solution. I do make sure to tell students that if they only see a cause and effect with no solution, it is simply Cause and Effect.

If something happens and a solution is proposed, it’s Problem and Solution. For example, if the author is discussing how some people litter and how it leads to pollution, that’s Cause and Effect. If the author mentions littering as a form of pollution and then tells about how this can be resolved, then it’s Problem and Solution.

Here’s a list of mentor texts with a cause and effect text structure:

problem solution articles for 5th grade

Problem and Solution

Nonfiction books that have the Problem and Solution text structure will present an issue, either past or present, and then describe how it was or could be remedied.

Books with topics such as a zoo’s efforts to save endangered pandas, Rachel Carson’s explanation of how pesticides such as DDT are harmful to birds and other animals and how they should be banned, or a book which discusses how rain forests are shrinking and what we can do to save them are all examples of the Problem and Solution text structure.

Here’s a list of mentor texts with a problem and solution text structure:

Teaching Text Structure (And What To Do When Students Struggle)

Text structure is a very powerful reading skill that can really help students make sense of and analyze informational text. This post shares tips for teaching text structure, including pre-requisite skills, all the different text structure skills, and strategies for when students struggle.

Text structure is such an important skill that can really help our readers comprehend nonfiction text. Read this post for tips for teaching text structure, including pre-requisite skills and strategies for when students struggle.

What is Text Structure?

Text structure refers to how the details and information in a text are organized. There are five common types of text structure:

When introducing text structures, I introduce them all at once and then we dive deep into specific text structures in the following days. The order above is how I traditionally sequence my teaching.

Why is Text Structure Important?

When readers identify and recognize the text structure of a text, this can significantly improve their comprehension and retention of information.

Understanding the text structure can help students:

Pre-Requisite Standards Before Teaching Text Structure

To teach text structure, make sure that you have taught or the students have a working knowledge of:

Text Structure Skills Students Need to Master

Text structure skills vary from 4th to 5th grade. In 5th grade, the students are really expected to go much further than simple identification. Increasing the rigor for 4th grade students (who are ready) will plant those seeds and help them succeed in 5th grade.

5th grade teachers, on the other hand, may have to teach all of the text structure skills to get our students to the necessary rigor required (even the ones required by 4th because we know that retention is not always something that goes in our favor.)

Keep this list in mind when planning your whole group mini-lessons as well as your small group reading lessons. I spend two weeks teaching text structure in 5th grade (read more about my reading pacing here) . If you don’t have the time to do this, I recommend teaching these skills as part of your small group reading lessons.

Tips for Students Who Struggle with Text Structure

If students struggle with text structure, reteach these skills or check these for understanding:

1. Take it back to a sentence level. Can the students identify a cause and effect relationship in one sentence? Repeat this for the other text structures. If students struggle at the sentence level, provide the necessary instruction.

2. Provide additional instruction with key words/clue words with sorting and identification activities (identifying them in texts).

3. A lot of students confuse text structures with description because all text structures are basically describing. However, they are describing in specific ways. For example, cats and dogs can be described by comparing and contrasting the two animals. I specifically discuss this with my students to help with confusion. I use this language, “Is the text describing the topic using a specific relationship (compare and contrast, cause and effect, etc.)?”

4. Highlight, point out, or underline the sentences that clearly show relationships in a text. Focus on those sentences, and ask the students what the details are showing you or how the details are related.

5. Connect the details with how they would be organized in a visual graphic organizer. If students can visualize the best way to organize details in a text, they will be able to identify the text structure with greater success. This can be modeled through direct instruction by completing graphic organizers together or by matching them to specific texts.

6. The connection between reading and writing is very strong with text structures. One way I help my students understand text structure is by connecting it to their writing by having them write using specific text structures.

Note: Basic reading comprehension of a text is required for students to understand the details and how they are related/connected. If your students cannot do this, they will likely struggle with identifying and writing about the text structure of grade level (or even approaching grade level) texts. One way to help with skill instruction is by using a lower lexile. Click here to see passages and texts written for 4th and 5th grade skills but at a 2nd/3rd grade lexile level.
